La Oficina del Ministerio Hispano y la Oficina del Ministerio Social quiere
promover nuestro ministerio social. Nos gustaría que todos nuestros
hermanos y hermanas de Cristo se vuelvan un solo cuerpo para ayudar a
los más necesitados. Como ha dicho el Papa Francisco “Todos tenemos el
deber de hacer el bien ", porque “no podemos preocuparnos de nosotros
mismos”. Actualmente tenemos el Ministerio de cárcel y el Ministerio de
Migrantes, lo cuales necesitan nuestras manos y corazones para poder
seguir ayudando a nuestros hermanos.
El papel en los diferentes ministros incluye:
- Sesión de entrenamiento y aprendizaje
- Visitar a los trabajadores migrantes y prisioneros
- Colaborar en el ropero y la despensa de comida en la parroquia
- Colectar recursos para distribuir a los que servimos
- Planear los eventos y coordinar para adquirir fondos
